End Denture Pain And Embarrassment
Choose A More Secure Solution
Dentures have stood the test of time and are still in wide use for tooth replacement today. While they offer generally acceptable performance, they do have their downsides. If you’re already wearing dentures, you may know these all too well. Dentures stay in place with suction or adhesive pastes. Through jawbone recession and wear, they can come loose—often at the worst times. You may be eating or speaking with a friend, and the dentures suddenly slip, embarrassing you. Their instability can also cause painful friction against your gums. If these concern you, our tooth replacement specialists at Garazi Periodontics & Dental Implants encourage you to consider options that put an end to loose dentures in Miami, FL.

No-Slip Solutions
Our periodontist at Garazi Periodontics & Dental Implants offers multiple paths to a secure smile in Miami, FL, all with one element in common: dental implants. Implant-supported dentures combine some features of dentures and dental implants in a single dental appliance. With this solution, you have dental implants inserted into your jaw and then a full-arch denture attached to it. The implants stop your denture from shifting during meals and other daily activities, enable you to eat a wider variety of foods, and prevent the bone loss that can happen with traditional dentures due to the lack of a root structure.
The next option is full mouth or full arch dental implants. This solution is widely considered to be the best overall choice for tooth replacement today. Created to last many years with regular maintenance, full arch dental implants may provide up to a lifetime of dependable function and lifelike beauty. Anchored firmly in your jaw, they are strong enough to allow you to eat all your favorite foods–even hard, chewy, and crunchy foods–with confidence! Dental implants don’t develop decay, and their restorations resist most staining. They can truly change your life!

Loose Dentures FAQs
Why do dentures become loose over time?
Conventional dentures have revolutionized countless smiles for many years. Dentures consist of prosthetic teeth attached to a gum-colored base that rests directly on the gums. Unfortunately, dentures can become loose as the jawbone shrinks because of tooth loss. Loose dentures no longer fit as snugly, causing slippage and discomfort. The good news? Garazi Periodontics & Dental Implants in Miami, Florida, offer practical solutions to restore a secure fit.
Why are lower dentures less stable than upper dentures?
Upper dentures rest on the roof of the mouth (palate), which creates a suction to keep them secure as you eat or talk. Think of this as placing a wet cup upside down on a flat surface—when you try to lift it, there’s resistance. That same suction is what keeps upper dentures securely in place.
Unfortunately, lower dentures rest on a narrow ridge, so they have less surface area to create suction. Besides, the constant movement of the tongue and lower jaw can easily dislodge your lower denture. For this reason, many patients experience constant slippage and shifting with lower dentures.
How can I fix loose dentures permanently?
Implant-supported dentures are the most reliable solution for loose dentures. At our office, Drs. Isaac and David Garazi place dental implants that securely anchor your dentures, preventing slippage or falling out.
We have two solutions for stabilizing your dentures with dental implants.
- Implant-retained dentures (overdentures): The dentist uses at least two dental implants to secure a full-mouth denture. These implants have specialized attachments that allow the denture to “snap on” securely, offering far greater stability than standard removable dentures. Overdentures are removable for easy cleaning, yet they stay firmly in place during speaking and eating.
- Fixed implant-supported dentures: Typically, the dentist uses 4-6 implants to secure your denture. These teeth replacements are the closest solution you can get to natural teeth. They offer incredible stability and are maintained like natural teeth since they always remain fixed.
What are the benefits of implant-supported dentures?
Life with ill-fitting dentures can be frustrating. Imagine the constant worry that your dentures can slip or fly out when having good times with family, friends, or colleagues! Implant-supported dentures in Miami, Florida, offer a life-changing experience for anyone with loose dentures or missing teeth. They are stable, life-like, durable, and provide unique benefits like bone preservation.
Are implant-supported dentures right for me?
Dental implants are an excellent solution if you’re tired of uncomfortable dentures. Drs. Isaac and David Garazi will assess your oral health, bone density, and medical history to determine if you qualify for this transformative solution. The good news is that implant dentures rarely need bone grafting. The dentist maximizes the available bone to avoid the need for grafting techniques.
What is the cost of implant dentures?
Since it’s a customized solution, giving a one-size-fits-all price is often difficult. Our doctor will provide an accurate cost estimate during consultation. Implant dentures are costlier than conventional dentures. However, the good news is that dental insurance can cover part of your treatment expenses, reducing out-of-pocket costs.
